Leaders Education Foundation donates $7,000 to Jackson Arts Council
JACKSON, TENNESSEE – Leaders Education Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization based in Jackson, Tenn, matched the first $7,000 in donations given to the Jackson Arts Council Arts Box initiative.
The Jackson Arts Council upholds its mission to strengthen our community through arts and culture.
They are currently doing this by The Jackson Art Box. The Jackson Art Box project provides students in the Jackson Madison County School System (JMCSS) with boxes of free art supplies to use as tools for creativity and expression.
Jackson Art Boxes are provided to JMCSS school counselors, who have received professional development training and art activities to encourage student creativity and expression in safe spaces.
Students will then be able to take home their art box to continue making art.
“We are a foundation that advocates for giving forward,” said Leigh Anne Bentley, President of the Leaders Education Foundation. “We know we are empowering our community for good by
donating to the Jackson Art box and furthering the Art Council’s mission.”
After fundraising for this campaign, the Jackson Arts Council raised over $7,000, which Leaders Education Foundation matched.
